McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area

The 3,700-acre McKee-Beshers area contains wetlands, fields, and forests that support numerous plant and animal species throughout different seasons.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources established this conservation site to protect local wildlife populations and maintain sustainable environmental practices.

Photographers and nature enthusiasts gather at the management area during summer months to observe the expansive fields of sunflowers and diverse bird species.

Visitors can access designated hiking trails and parking areas year-round, while following specific guidelines to protect the natural environment and wildlife.

The management area plants sunflower fields each spring specifically to provide food sources for mourning doves, songbirds, mammals, and various pollinator species.
